"Game of Thrones"...ish! : metalwork / blacksmithing workshop
Description
Have you ever wanted a sword to hang on your wall or a sconce lamp or maybe a brazier for the long winter that is coming? Well, we are going to run a special metalwork / blacksmith class for anyone who loves 'Game of Thrones', or a medieval genre like Lord of the Rings, Vikings, etc. Items will all have a medieval 'feel' and not designed to be exact replicas but lookalike and made by attendees of the classes. These classes will be run for a limited time only and class sizes are small to allow everyone access to tutors and equipment. We start at 9.30am and finish between 4.30pm- 5pm. Please note: the swords, axes, spears, etc, are designed to be wall art.
What's included in the price?
Materials are included, however some items that are larger, or more expensive items, may carry a small surcharge to cover these items. We also encourage upcycling, so if you have something that can be incorporated in your project just bring it along. We supply aprons, goggles, gloves and specialist PPE (personal protective equipment), but please wear sturdy footwear and no flammable clothing, old clothes - cotton or wool are the best. Coffee, tea, and biscuits are available during the day. We aim to have our own fire breathing dragon in attendance, of course if that's too scary you can have your picture taken in our own iron throne! For any special items please just reach out via the 'message the tutor' button to ask, we may be able to help!
